20 FEBRUARY 2025 - Dr. Rob David

​Once upon a time when there were no fridges or freezers, trade in ice from frozen wastes beyond our shores was a major commercial activity as people sought the keep food from spoiling. It is a fact that a big heap of ice insulates itself and melts slowly, so from a domestic perspective if you had the wherewithal to build an icehouse in your garden you could buy a pile of ice to put in it to keep your perishables fresh for weeks. Levens Hall has a fine icehouse, thoroughly restored a few years ago, which will feature in Dr. David’s talk.
